This was a natural property for MGM to adapt to television, since they'd had a lot of success with the film franchise in the 30s. MGM dipped their toes in TV with "MGM Parade" around 1956, then a couple of seasons later went into production with "The Thin Man" and a Revolutionary War-era adventure series called "Northwest Passage".

Yeah, I used to watch this at six years of age and confused when it went off th air. I think it was on one season. It was part of MGM's reluctance to get into TV. The other show was the MGM Parade. Gpt any more?
